wwoww i wonder why he's so messed up

I love the idea that Saruman looked up to Sauron during the Almaren days so much. It always makes me think of Curumo as an annoying younger brother. Like,

Curumo: Hey bro come check this out!

Mairon: Not right now, I’m busy.

Curumo: No you have to come see it now

Mairon: I said no.

Curumo: Come on, please?

Mairon: No.

Curumo: come on come on come on come on come on come on come on com—

Mairon: No!! Leave me alone!

Curumo: Pleeeeaseee? I’ll leave if you just come see what it is!

Mairon, sighing: Fine. What is it.

Curumo: A dead slug I cast in silver! :D

Mairon: I AM NOT LOOKING AT THAT!

(Mairon would, actually. He just doesn’t like letting Curumo win).

somehow her waist frill went missing and she had to grab a random towel that doesn’t even match her lace :’(

dressed to impress, and also to go steal a snazzy vest for her sister

the good thing is that single dad Sakura is way too soggy for you to want to fuck in those first… 3-6 months

[tenspontaneite]

what is your fav rainworld campaign?

for me its gourmand because outer expanse is the best region in the game

Still haven't finished survivor lmao so I can't really answer that. My playthrough got interrupted in like April by a holiday and I haven't got back into it since. At some point I should resume my run and go back to trying to drag two children across the map

Wee yippee I love living in the social bracket where 80% of my loved ones are struggling with opioid addiction

I still have NOT started my Kikaider rewatch because I swear I have adhd and can’t focus right now to do anything besides build dragon ig but I keep rotating back to like- how similar mitsuko and michirus families are and I’d love to do a comparison on them but I don’t know how I’d do it given not just “well mitsuko and her fam got to be more fleshed out in especially the anime cause they didn’t have to juggle three main characters” but also like they’re two families who aren’t necessarily a family trope themselves but rather are compromised of multiple tropes from that era:

Michiru/Mitsuko: The supporting girl who is friends with the main character, potentially their love interest

Saotome/Komyoji: The old man scientist who works for the good guys and sometimes may or may not either be the father of the MC or the supporting girl

Genki/Masaru: The little boy support character who tends be the little brother of the main character, but sometimes can be the little brother of the support girl

And then they both get slapped with a dead older brother and a mother who is MIA both of which don’t always happen in tandem with these tropes but I think it’s more of a coincidence both Michiru and Mitsukos families are so similar so they just line up these tropes that were super common back then. (Though since Kikaider came first Ishikawa could’ve POSSIBLY took inspiration especially because Nagai knew Ishinomori but I have no clue if they ever met)

[carbonateddelusion]

after Mariposa fucking died, Harrison went off to do his own thing. find himself. that's probably how he became friends with Steve and his buddies...

he's doing his own thing now. probably has a new girl to obsess over

Guys let’s do our best to give Fukuzawa as many back rubs as we can and win those group rewards!! (With the intention of getting the Fukuzawa SR in the group rewards section)

They have been preparing me to get Married like I'm going to be fed to the lion's den- I hate how "to be Married" is made to be my Goal in life, I hate it <\3 I hope everyone stops asking me about marriage... it will happen when it happens, stop pestering me about it

[scatmaan]

the idea of making birdie the dark urge origin when she already has mr blue and the mind flayer up in her head is tempting

oh my goodness. baby ace has my whole heart

Picking up children in the woods is a perfectly normal way to expand your family (if you're a pirate).

(About Crocodile being referred to as "Wani": he's already known as the Warlord Sir Crocodile, so it's best to use an alias and hope that nobody in this quiet, peaceful village will make the connection. And if they do, that they'll keep quiet. Which they most likely will, considering that they must have noticed Dragon's return to the Monkey family home.)

Sorry for style inconsistencies X'D

Hey anybody going to talk about rescued sacrificial maidens. Like yes a guy with a fuck off sword turned up and so you're not getting fed to the dragon/water creature/mountain spirit/vague embodiment of all things scary and you get to go back home, but is that really home? Your mom hugs you and your dad says he's so happy you're alive and you know that when they said they'll do anything to keep you safe they didn't really mean it. They have a feast prepared and you get to taste what they cooked for your funeral, help wash the dishes after. And it's selfish to think that between the whole village with everyone in it and you they wouldn't pick the lesser evil but it still leaves an emptiness in your chest, knowing exactly how much your life is worth. And the neighbors smile at you awkwardly and the neighbors' kids yell "hey! I thought you died!" because they don't know not to do that yet and maybe you did. Maybe you did.

And the hero with the fuck-off sword rode off into the sunset the way they always do but you're still here and you herd the cows by the cliff where you were tied up in your cleanest clothes waiting to not be alive anymore and sometimes you think that would be easier and when you don't come back one day, you can imagine it's a relief for everyone involved. Maybe you'll be the new thing to haunt the mountain, or maybe you'll follow down the road and listen for cries that sound like yours did. Either way, there's little left to fear. You know exactly how much your life is worth.
